Guerlain Shalimar Eau De Parfum Spray for Women, 3 Ounce

My grandmother has worn this for decades. Needless to say, I love the smell, but it’s also an association thing. I’m sure plenty of people would consider a “grandma” perfume... the scent is definitely not very modern. However, you can tell it’s an incredible quality. The scent stays on all day, and doesn’t break down like other scents. Even though it smells slightly different on each person, it still seems to work for any person I’ve known to try it. I’m not able to describe scents very well. I couldn’t pick out an individual one if my life depended on it. I do know that I once saw it described as “the classic Oriental perfume,” and while I couldn’t identify a perfume’s category, I can understand the description. When I first smell it, I notice the musk (and I typically hate musky perfumes), then spices, then almost like a sweetness. When I say spices, I mean like when you smell cinnamon or something like that, and by sweet, I mean like when you smell something baking, like vanilla. I know it sounds like I’m describing a musk mixed with cinnamon buns (which, hey, if that’s your thing), but it’s not at all what it smells like, it’s almost like how it feels. Baking is really the only reference I have for scents, I don’t wear them often, and body sprays and the like usually gag me. Most perfumes either nauseate me immediately or after I’ve had them on for a few hours. This one never makes me sick. As I said, I normally hate musks, but this doesn’t seem to be like most of the ones you find in stores. Imagine a room that was done in lots of dark, jewel toned colors, with all kinds of velvets and fur and leather pieces.... but someone’s baking in the kitchen and it’s wafting through (and no, I don’t mean those canned cinnabons, I mean like if someone’s baking some Thomas Keller-level stuff with real vanilla beans and all that). Definitely a naughty but nice feel to it, but a very luxe version of it.

Great perfume and good delivery

My wife got hooked on Shalamar when we were newly married. After 53 years, I'm still buying it for her. Even though it's quite pricey, it makes her happy and when you have a happy wife who smells good, you have a happy life. Some people have said that they don't think this is the real stuff and possibly a knock off, but if it is, my wife does not know the difference and she's quite experienced with Shalamar. I would say the bottles that we got were real.

Love this scent . I was in my 30’s and come across this while cleaning a much older woman’s house and the bottle intrigued me, thought it was pretty so I gave it a try, been my fragrance ever since:)

I had added this item to my wishlist years ago. My adult son accessed my list and purchased the 3 oz as a Christmas gift to me. I was worried about receiving a fake. I messaged the seller who assured his vendors are good and honest. That didn’t mean much to me. I received the item. It seems authentic enough. Surprisingly it doesn’t smell like an old lady although its top note smells like spices. The bottom note is vanilla and musk. I read the EDT reviews of a major department store retailer and most were literally 1 stars. Unless we have Guerlain authenticate, we consumers will never know. As for longevity, I find it won’t last very long on certain textile clothes materials, but is long lasting when sprayed directly onto my skin. Basically, it will differ from person to person. I think this fragrance will not appeal to most under age 45.

Best price we could find. Beat the price at duty free shops at three overseas airports on a recent trip.

Exactly as promised. Arrived quickly and the packaging was in very good shape. The only downside it that this item was $20.00 more expensive than the same item on the site. I needed a refill it quickly, it came in two days, and was what I purchased. Except for the price, a good choice.

Product was exactly as described and was delivered on time. Could not have been better.

It's always been my favorite perfume over the years. No matter what new perfumes come on the trend - this perfume will always be uniquely elegant on its own. Loved it. Great purchase, product is genuine, new, boxed and sealed.

C'est un magnifique cadeau.

Lovely perfume
